9But you are za chosen race, aa royal bpriesthood, ca holy nation, da people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you eout of darkness into fhis marvelous light. 10gOnce you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
11Beloved, I urge you has sojourners and exiles ito abstain from the passions of the flesh, jwhich wage war against your soul. 12kKeep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, lthey may see your good deeds and glorify God on mthe day of visitation.
Submission to Authority
13nBe subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution,2 whether it be to the emperor3 as supreme, 14or to governors as sent by him oto punish those who do evil and pto praise those who do good. 15For this is the will of God, qthat by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16rLive as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but sliving as servants4 of God. 17tHonor everyone. uLove the brotherhood. vFear God. Honor the emperor.
